Congrats! I had my surgery yesterday. Still in a lot of pain where they put my port and feeling a lot of the pain from the gas they put in me still but as far as coughing stuff up i'm doin the same thing. I'm relieved to not be the only one. I'm not to sure it has anything to do with smoking tho maybe the anastesia....I dono I'm with you I'd like to know what it's all about. I haven't gotten hungry at all either. I had to make myself eat a very small amount of jello just to ave something in me. I've just been craving ice water that's all I want. Good luck to you on your journey!
